- Description
Shows a little aeroplane representing 'free flights' flying away into the distance. Refers to a review of the law that provides for the salaries of the prime minister, MPs and the governor-general. Any MP elected before 1999 who served three terms or more, and their spouse, can each claim on up to 12 domestic return flights and one return business-class trip to London every year - claiming back between between 60 and 90 per cent of the fare. 112 former MPs and 152 spouses of former members are eligible to get the perks for the rest of their lives. The Dominion Post stated that a group of 12 former prime ministers, governors-general and their wives would receive payments and free flights worth $900,000 this year (2008) alone. The text 'Fly byes' is a play on the 'fly buys' loyalty program.
